No service auto reply sms/mms

[AC Question]

I am going to be in a remote area for over a week. I would like to find a way to auto reply to texts while gone.

There are numerous apps but I cannot find anything that works when I have the battery pulled to stimulate being out of service.

I figured I could find it with enough searching but after an hour I am no closer than when I started.

Thanks
